Libraries of loot: The various materialisations of Uppsala University Library in 17th century Sweden

The Cabinet of Curiosities, CREMS Postgraduate Forum, is delighted to invite you to this lunchtime paper presented by Emma Hagström Molin.

Emma is visiting CREMS this term from Stockholm University. Her thesis deals with the huge amount of spoils that were accumulated by the Swedish army during the many wars of the seventeenth century. Focusing on mainly books and documents, she analyses the meanings and effects that certain collections of spoils had on three Swedish collections contexts: the Swedish national archives, Uppsala university library and nobleman Carl Gustav Wrangel's private palace museum Skokloster.

Please feel free to bring your lunch and we'll endeavour to provide tea and coffee!

We look forward to seeing you there!
